Raiders And Jets Could Both Use Wildcat Formation Sunday
Jul 2, 2014 9:01 AM
The Dolphins have successfully run the 'Wildcat' formation with Ronnie Brown this season, but the Jets actually ran it a year ago.
In separate games, running back Leon Washington scored on an 18-yard run and completed a 36-yard pass - both on direct snaps in shotgun formation.
When that was mentioned to him this week, Washington smiled.
"Thank you, I appreciate that," he said.
The Raiders have used it three times with Darren McFadden, and now that the rookie running back has recovered from a turf-toe injury that hampered him for a month, it could be featured in their game plan.
"I love doing it," McFadden said on a conference call, hinting it could be part of the Raiders' package this week. "Growing up, I played quarterback a lot, so being able to go back and take a direct snap under center just makes you feel at home again."
